Hey Flagland, I feel a bit bad about how this played out, but after thinking more and reading this, the mod team has decided to full restrict your commenting permissions. I don’t really expect you posting about your interests here on shortform to be productive for you or for LW.
We’re also experimenting more with moderating in public so it’s clearer to everyone where are our boundaries are. (I think expect this to feel a bit more intense as a person-getting-moderated, but to probably be better overall for transparency)
My whole life I’ve been ranting about how incomprehensibly evil the world is. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks things shouldn’t be difficult in the way they are. [...] The reaction to my decades of online rants and hate-filled screeds has been very consistent: the Silence or the Bodysnatchers. Meaning no reaction, or an extremely negative one (I’m not allowed to link either).
There seems to be a deep willingness among normal people to accept evil, which may be the source of their power.
To be clear, I think your topics have been totally fine things to think about and discuss on LessWrong. The problem is that, well, ranting and hate-filled screeds just aren’t very productive most of the time. If it seemed like you were here to think clearly and figure out solutions, that’d be a pretty different situation.
